My guess is dial_tone's problem has more to do with the FSA crank than him not doing it right. I'm pretty good at setting up Shimano front derailleurs but had no end of problems getting a friend's Roubaix Ultegra front derailleur and FSA SLK triple crankset shifting cleanly. In the end, I got it working decently but it is no where near as precise as my RS with Ultegra triple crank and Ultegra derailleur. When you mix component brands you take your chances.
